Draft INSIGHT: K Cade York

Suspect.

That is what you can call the kicker position the past few years. Not that the Browns haven’t tried to solve this. In 2019 they selected Austin Seibert in the fifth round and two years prior Zane Gonzalez was taken in Round 7.

Last year, incumbent Chase McLaughlin began the year red hot going 11 for 12 including several kicks of 50-yards plus. In the beginning he was Mr. Automatic, but then he started missing a kick a game and was 4-9 down the stretch. He struggled mightily on kicks in the 40-yard range and converted only 10 attempts at that distance which really hurt long drives.
